Using Fuzzy Lists for Playlist Management

The increasing popularity of music recommendation systems and the recent growth of online music communities further emphasizes the need for effective playlist management tools able to create, share, and personalize playlists. This paper proposes the development of generic playlists and presents a concrete scenario to illustrate their possibilities. Additionally, to enable the development of playlist management tools, a formal foundation is provided. Therefore, the concept of fuzzy lists is defined and a corresponding algebra is developed. Fuzzy lists offer a solution perfectly suited to meet the demands of playlist management.
